To tell whom it may concern.-

lie it known that we, HENRY W. 'WArson' end WILLIAM W. WA'rsoN, citizens of the United States, and residents of Jamestown,

in the county of Chautauqua and State of" New York, have invented new and useful I1nprovements in' Guide Strips for dliding Screens, of which the following, taken in connection with the accommnying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact escription.

The invention relates to guide-strips on the casing of windows and like openings for sliding screens and blinds; and the object of our improvement is to provide guidestrips having metal tacings to prevent splitting of I the stri s and so that they will not weer, the

leases which are left uncovered, so that they 0 magine fitted to the inequalities of the casing.

Fig. 3 is e perspective view of the inner, side of the unattached sheet-metel cap. Fig. t is s perspective view of the complete 1tguidestrip l ig. 5 is a iLSCIGQll andlateral full-size plan viewo placed guide-strii s, with the central portion of the screen bro en sway vertically and horisontallv;

The pressure of the lengthwise edges of the 12 into the wood 10 at 14 on each side en the bulge of the sides oi the head 11 is in place. Holes 13, however, are provide? in cap 12,

This gnide strip also admits of close fitting to the -iwindiwwsssh, since the screenframe 16 can he, placed sgainst the sash, as shown at the dottedjline is in Fig. 1, without in any wise interfering with the guide-strip. The metal facing for tlpe strip is also esp e cislly' applicehle to cull sheet-1netal screenfrarne, es shown in the epplicetion for Letters Patent, Serial No. 291,825, since it presents a metal surface to slide on the metal surface, thereby increasing the durehility by preventing wear and et the same time allows of easy fitting to the window-casing.
